Optoma used International CES to show a range of new display products for its elite Sovereign line, including a 50W-inch high-definition plasma monitor, and a pair of high-definition rear-projection DLP HDTVs in the 65W-inch and 50W-inch screen sizes.
The company also showed an entry-level compact DLP front projector designed to appeal to a mass home-theater audience.
